Re: [Networker] id the latest "full"

one problem that I see with this, and which I'm suffering from myself,
is
filesystems larger than 2GB which are split up into multiple savesets.

I have one NetWare server that is a single filesystem of about 175GB
so
I'm never sure whether I have a complete backup of however many
bits this monster should span over. I wonder if there's any way to
aggregate all the "<nn>DATA1:" filesets together, count how many of
them there are for a single attempt and either identify if any are
missing in the middle or if the backup stopped short of finishing.

If you don't know about when the last full was, (so you can't use
restrictive date ranges with mminfo), the easiest way I've found to
see
the last full is to do something like:

        mminfo -q 'client=whatever,level=full' -r 'nsavetime,ssid' \
        | sort -n | tail -n 1

Note that this will only give you the very last full that was done on
a particular client -- if the client has multiple volumes you won't
see
when the last was for each of them.  You would need a bit more
scripting
to get that.
